Quick & Easy Healthy Dark Chocolate Banana Muffins

Do you ever make something so scrumptious that then when you walk back into the kitchen like an hour later……. EVERY LAST CRUMB of it is gone already?!?! Well, this is where we insert these quick & easy healthy dark chocolate banana muffins. This recipe was created quite awhile ago and is still one of my favorites! Which reminds me……. I haven’t made these in what seems like forever. Hmm, I think these muffins are going to be showing up on the Zanders’ kitchen table sometime pretty soon 🙂 So there’s not really a thrilling story behind how this muffin recipe was created….. It was one of those days when I was in a baking mood, but when searching through recipes, they all sounded SO bland and boring! Even everything on Pinterest, which normally looks amazing, just looked……. BORING! Soooooo, I finally just set down the cookbooks, closed Pinterest, and decided to go adventurin’.

On a side note, YES, you can totally go adventurin’ in your kitchen. Have I mentioned how much I like adventurin’? Actually, so much so, that I will call literally every. little. thing. an adventure……. Who cares that I just went to the store to buy milk! I was adventuring. And no one would ever know differently. 😉 Life is so much more enjoyable when you keep it interesting and “adventure” as much as possible. An adventure doesn’t have to be something out of this world amazing. Learn to find joy in the simplest, smallest things in life. Even something as simple as creating a yummy muffin recipe can be a wonderful, joy filled adventure if you choose to make it one!

Wow, I get distracted easily……. Well anyways, let’s get to the recipe! Also, I FINALLY figured out how to get recipe forms here on the blog that are easily printable, so feel free to print this recipe out to save for later, to make again, or even to share with a friend!

Add the mashed bananas, coconut oil, and beaten eggs to the batter, and stir until well combined.

Scoop batter into muffin tins lined with paper. (or well oiled)

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.

ENJOY!!

So what’s the reason for wheat germ and flax seed in this recipe? Well, there’s a lot of them! Would you like to look at some of the health benefits of wheat germ and flax seed? Okay, great! Let’s get studying! According to organicfacts.net (Which is a wonderful resource!) Some of the amazing benefits from wheat germ are…….

So what about flax seed? Well, that’s just as amazing! Some of the benefits that come from flax seed are…..

It Restricts Calorie Intake (it keeps you filled up)

It Helps Healthy Hair & Skin

It’s A Good Source Of Protein

It Helps Prevents Cancer

It Helps Improve Cardiovascular Health

It Fights Inflammation

It Boosts Immunity To Overall Sickness

Wow, Pretty cool, isn’t it? Just in case you were wondering if those ingredients actually mattered, yes, yes they do! My family normally always has these ingredients on hand, but I know that things like flax seed and wheat germ are not exactly a normal pantry staple for most people. If you don’t have these on hand, I would highly suggest getting them as soon as possible! We normally buy our flax seed, wheat germ, and other healthy dry goods at local bulk food stores; usually Amish owned. If that’s not an option where you live, well then I’ve got great news! You can actually order these ingredients online and have them shipped right to your door! I think that’s pretty awesome! Especially considering, that means you can skip the all day search & visiting 7 different stores. Really, It’s a win-win! I have provided the links down below, so have fun shopping and ordering these healthy super foods, without even having to leave the comfort of your home!

So now I want to hear from YOU! Are you going to be trying out these muffins? If so, let me know how they turn out for you! Do you cook with flax seed and wheat bran? If you haven’t before, are you going to try them? What are some of your favorite healthy baked goods to make? Let me know in the comments down below! I hope you all have a blessed day, and don’t forget to be looking for the sweet & simple! Now go do some adventurin’!

OOOOHHHHHHH. These sound so good. I go for anything chocolate!!!!!! I keep reminding myself that the scary things in life are adventures. And I have a lot of scary things, oops I mean ADVENTURES coming up!!! keep up the good work. *hugs*

Yum! Let’s just say that I made some of these the second after I read this post😊 They smell so good! They are in the oven as I comment! Mom had me tested for my gluten allergy and I was clear (which means I can have gluten!) I am so excited I can finally try your recipes!!! I can’t wait to try one of these!

To answer your questions now! Yes I’m obviously trying these! Yes my family has always cooked with wheat bran and flax seed. Have a great day! Now I’ll go do my Adventurin’!

Okay so these muffins were done as soon as I posted my recent comment and my family and I thought they were AMAZING! Today I am making 2 dozen loaves of your oatmeal bread, 5 pounds of your granola, 8 dozen of these muffins, and a few of our family’s recipes, 2 dozen of our zucchini brownies (sounds weird but they are amazing! They are also very healthy), 10 dozen of our dark chocolate pumpkin muffins (we canned the pumpkin from our garden last summer), 5 dozen bread machine cinnamon rolls, homemade tortilla chips, and 2 pounds salsa. Sounds like a lot (and it is) but all that will only last our family a month or two since we have almost 20 mouths to feed! So I will be cooking and baking all day since I’m off work today! Have a nice day!
